If you're going to the market / mall to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags / trash and you learn to reduce / increase your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes / stuff
You could try / buy them on before you buy / try some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse
And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash / litter
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
